The 7th year of the Ajinomoto®
Umami Culinary Challenge (UCC) proves to be even more exciting as it gathers 55
schools and universities from NCR, Ilocos, Bicol, Central and Southern Luzon
and regional winners from Visayas and Mindanao. The nation’s best culinary
teams will showcase their culinary prowess on Saturday, January 30, 2016 from
6:00 AM – 6:00 PM at the Philippine Trade and Training Center, Manila.
The Ajinomoto® UCC is an
inter-school culinary competition where foodies and culinary enthusiasts meet
with a common dedication to unite taste and health in food preparations. UCC is
part of Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation’s advocacy to promote the benefit of
umami taste in preparing deliciously nourishing recipes. Through its food brand
slogan “Eat Well, Live Well.®”, Ajinomoto hopes that future chefs and nutrition
professionals will create more deliciously nourishing food for Filipino
families to enjoy and live life to the fullest.
The panel of judges is composed of
Food and Nutrition luminaries: Chef Gene Gonzales, Chef Sau del Rosario, Chef
James Antolin, Chef Colin McKay, Chef Eugene Raymundo, Dr. Celeste Tanchoco,
Dr. Imelda Agdeppa, and Dr. Adela Ruiz to name a few. They were invited to
provide valuable insights to student-competitors on how to apply culinary
skills and nutrition knowledge in the creation of nourishing umami dishes.
Over 300 aspiring chefs will
compete in three (3) culinary competition categories: Best Filipino Umami Dish,
My Own Umami Creation and Umami Master and other non-culinary categories: the
“Aminomazing Showdown” beverage concoction contest and the “My Umami Coach and
I” food-styling competition. Finalists from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao will
compete in the National Cooking Showdown.
Ajinomoto® Umami Culinary Challenge
(UCC) is presented by AJINOMOTO PHILIPPINES CORPORATION in partnership with La
Germania, Solane, Fujidenso and Masflex.
